Call me the eternal optimist, but I was thinking about this today, and some small part of me started hoping against hope that the cut made the guy wake up and realize how much he had to lose. Taking that, he might come back and work three times as hard just to make sure he's not jobless again within the next few weeks.

I know.. wishful thinking, but maybe pure determination can overcome some of his physical deficiencies? That's if he wants it bad enough.
